Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices lack a straightforward method to indicate their operating state to users, making it difficult for users to easily perceive the device's status, such as being on or off, without additional complex control systems or light intensity adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A display device design that incorporates a deco frame with a light-transmissive material, featuring a diffusion part and a transmission part to refract and diffuse light emitted by a light source, allowing the light to be projected outward in a way that indicates the device's operating state, such as through color and intensity changes, without restricting the internal design or increasing power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a light indicating system is added to indicate operating state, then user perception of device status is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light-transmissive material serves multiple functions: it acts as a structural component of the display device housing, provides optical transmission for internal lights, and serves as the indication interface itself. This eliminates the need for separate indicator components and reduces overall system complexity while maintaining effective operating state indication.
Solution Approach 2:
The light-transmissive material automatically responds to internal light sources based on their operational state. When internal lights are activated to indicate operating states, the material naturally transmits this light to the exterior without requiring additional control mechanisms, sensors, or processing systems.
2Loss of information
If multiple light emitting devices are used to indicate different operating states, then indication capability is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes variations in light transmission parameters (intensity, wavelength/color) of a single light-transmissive material to convey different operating states. By changing the optical properties or the characteristics of the internal light sources, the system can indicate multiple states without requiring multiple separate light-emitting devices, thereby reducing overall power consumption.
3Ease of operation
If additional indicator components are added to the display device, then operating state visibility is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light-transmissive material is integrated into the existing housing or frame structure of the display device, merging the indication function with the structural component. This integration eliminates the need for separate assembly steps for indicator components and simplifies the manufacturing process while maintaining clear operating state visibility.

AI summary
A display device is provided. The display includes a display main body, a light source, a diffusion part, and a transmission part. The display main body includes a display module and a cabinet protecting the display module. The light source generates light according to an operating state of the display main body. The diffusion part receives the light from the light source and includes a reflective surface oblique to an incident direction of the light. The transmission part includes an optical imaging part on which the light diffused from the diffusion part is projected and transmits the light to the outside at one side of the diffusion part.
